🌽 RESULTS THAT PAY 🌽

Another harvest side-by-side showing what SOURCE® brought to the table this season.

SOURCE:
🌽 245.30 bu/ac @ 16.2% moisture

Grower Standard Practice:
🌽 229.65 bu/ac @ 16.3% moisture

📈 +15.65 bu/ac yield advantage
💧 0.1% lower moisture

At $4.53 corn, that additional yield is worth $70.90/ac.

After product cost:
💰 $58.01/ac additional profit
📊 5.2:1 ROI

That’s what we’re looking for when evaluating products—not just more bushels, but more profit per acre.

Want to see where SOURCE could fit into your 2027 crop plan? Give Bates Ag Solutions a call and let’s talk agronomy.

Harvest season views 🌽

Good corn, the combine rolling, and another crop coming out of the field. Hard to beat this time of year.

It takes a complete program to put a crop together. Proud to work with Golden Harvest Seeds, AgroLiquid, Sound Agriculture, and Meristem Crop Performance to help our growers get the most out of every acre.

There’s nothing quite like harvest season. 🌽🇺🇸

Long days, late nights, and a lot of hard work—but getting to work alongside our growers and see a season’s worth of decisions come together makes it all worth it.

At Bates Ag Solutions, we’re proud to be part of agriculture and even more proud to help our customers get the most out of every acre.

🌽 COMPACTION COSTS MORE THAN YOU THINK.

Same field. Same growing season. A very different result.

LEFT: Spring bedpack manure applied
RIGHT: No manure

Manure can be a valuable fertility source—but application timing and field conditions matter. Heavy equipment running across wet spring soils can create compaction that restricts root development, reduces water and nutrient uptake, and ultimately limits the crop’s ability to produce.

The lesson isn’t “manure is bad.” It’s that fertility only pays when the crop can access it.

You can invest in manure, fertilizer, seed, biologicals, and crop protection—but if compaction is limiting the root system, you may not capture the yield or ROI you expected from those inputs.

Protect the soil. Protect the roots. Protect your investment.

At Bates Ag Solutions, we’re focused on helping growers identify what’s limiting yield and make every input dollar work harder.
